ACS Announcement

New Senior Fellow Society Will Hold Inaugural Meeting at Clinical Congress

September 23, 2025

Recognizing that surgery is a lifelong endeavor and that senior surgeons have valuable insights to share with their younger colleagues, the College has initiated the ACS Senior Fellows Society (SFS).

The mission of the SFS is to provide the opportunity for engagement of senior surgeons in the sharing of knowledge and experience to create a forum for mentorship and development of younger surgeons and their journey through their surgical careers and serve as a focal point for collaboration across the lifecycle programs of the ACS.

The SFS builds on the ACS’s history of embracing senior surgeons and providing opportunities for these experienced individuals to continue using their expertise to help medical students, residents, young Fellows, and Fellows build successful careers.

Learn more about the Senior Fellows Society.

The SFS will be formally recognized during Clinical Congress 2025 at an event on Saturday, October 4, 11:30 am–1:30 pm, at the Marriott Marquis Chicago Hotel.

Membership in the SFS is open to ACS Fellows age 65 years and older, as well as those who are officially retired.

For more information, contact Ulli Langenscheidt at ulangenscheidt@facs.org.
